Anna's Bunny (3.5 yrs)

In this four course, four semester sequence students will learn the principles of a Reggio inspired practice where children are perceived as rich, competent, and full of knowledge. Students will: 1) explore materials; 2) develop expertise with observation and documentation through experiential seminars and a full semester of online dialogue focusing on students’ documentation; 3) learn to understand and translate the developing concepts of children into learning extensions; 4) complete a final product reflecting current research that will impact Early Childhood research and/or practice.
Taken as a series this sequence of courses is designed to provide students the skills needed to obtain a teaching position within a Reggio inspired program, to facilitate the documentation of learning at a high level in order to flexibly construct new directions for learning and early childhood research. Students are welcome to enroll in individual classes, or to enter at the level suited to their particular experience. Please note the prerequisites for each course.

Brattleboro Center courses: full semester courses beginning with a 5-day seminar. Students journal and complete reading & project assignments independently during the remainder of the semester. They also conference with the facilitator during the semester online or by phone. Listserv conferencing is established among participants.

Online courses: 13 week courses completed online from your location. Online class sizes will be limited to 25 students. My goal is to develop the series so that there are rolling enrollments that can satisfy the needs of diverse groups who may want different start dates.

Note: Level 3 is a 14 week course (not 13 weeks) - though the cost remains the same.

Costs
243.50 per credit = $730 per course
